The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of 
Illinois at Chicago invites applications and nominations for the 
position of Head of the Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages and 
Literatures. Located in the heart of Chicago, UIC is a Carnegie 
Research/Extensive University with 16,000 undergraduates, 6,500 
graduate students, and 3,000 professional students. This is an 
exciting time for the Department: it is in a position to hire new 
faculty and has (together with Germanic Studies and History) 
established a new interdepartmental graduate concentration in Central 
and Eastern European Studies.

The Head is the chief administrative officer of the Department with 
responsibility for instructional programs and for administrative, 
budgetary, promotion, and recruitment matters. The Department Head 
also provides leadership in the areas of research, teaching, and 
community outreach. We are seeking an innovative and dynamic leader 
with a research specialty in either Polish (with the possibility of a 
named chair) or Russian. The successful candidate will be an 
associate or full professor, have a strong record of scholarly and 
teaching accomplishments, and some administrative experience.

The desired appointment date is 16 August 2009 (pending budgetary 
approval). The salary is competitive based on qualifications. 
Applicants should send a full curriculum vitae, and names and full 
contact information of four references to:
